request - ip blocking plugin
-
I disagree.
- It's easy to block ips in this manner on the firewall or hardware level.
- It's easy for someone to just change or spoof their ip.

It could be useful, yes, but it would not be much different from a regular ban. It could possibly keep people from making multiple accounts, but there are better and more effective ways to do that.

I disagree with ip filtering because most people use either dynamic ips or shared ips. This shouldnt be gold plated in the interface.
Now, a rate limit on ip new user creation, banning for a single day, etc looks reasonable.

cache ban
Can circumvent that too.
I've noticed I've not been too helpful here. To deter people from causing trouble, ignore them. Once they stop getting a reaction, they get bored. Stopping someone from gaining access, will cause them to try and gain access.
Look into Shadow banning, Reddit use it very effectively.

We have that as a plugin: https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-squash
I've mentioned this before that I'm not a fan of the plugin (it was paid for by a client, that's why we built it) - but to each their own!
I think it should work on latest, but I don't think its even published to npm -
@psychobunny It has its uses, bla bla bla, I think we all had this conversation before Insert relevant topic here. But this does say that I need to follow your Github more.
